When I asked Louis Barruol for his impressions on current vintages, he told me that "2004 has an elegance, almost an austerity, that's a lot like 1999 in both the north and the south. I think that the wines will really age and I like them quite a bit since my preference is for precise wines. Two thousand five," he went on, "has a remarkable fruit/acid balance. The acid and pH are such that you don't really notice the ripeness, which is quite interesting. "Although he is a child of the south and is based at his family's ancient domain in Gigondas, I continue to be struck by Barruol's sure hand with his northern Rhone wines, especially his Cote-Rotie, which is sourced almost exclusively from the Cote Brune.
